Taxing Art and Learning.

A committee appointed by the Ameri-
can ASSOCIATION for the Advancement of
Science at its last meeting will ask con-
gress to reduce the tariff on scientific
books and apparatus. A request so
proper to be made, for a concession
which would result in no serious sacrifice
to the government. may reasonably be
expected to meet with respectful and,
perhaps, favorable attention The treas
ury does not derive very great revenue
from this source, and under present con-
ditions to continue these duties would be
to very greatly increase the discredit
which attaches to their having been
levied. 1t must be self-evident to every
body, including the most prejudiced pro-
tectlonists, that only under the most ex-
traordinary circumstances could there be
any justification for tariff on the means
OF instructing and cultivating the minds
OF the people, and surely no such circum.
stances exist now. 1t Is most strange
that nation which makes boast of its
great interest in and devotion to educa-
diffusion OF knowledge and of all the
influences that refine and elevate the
people is so fully recognized, should put
tax upon the means of enlightenment,
and it will be still more strange il when
that nation is getting a large excess OF
revenue over the requirements of the
government il shall continue such tax
The scientific men who are moving for
reduction of the tariff on the books
and apparatus which they employ
are undoubtedly induced to do SO
IN the interest of science and scientific
advancement in this country, and not
from any personal advantage to be de,
rived. There are thousands OF young

The republicans Of Douglas county
may congratulate themselves upon the
narrow escape from disaster which was
threatening the party by reason of the
revolutionary action Of the central com.
mittee. The resentment over this at
tempt 10 deprive the rank and file Of the
party OF a voice in the choice of their repre-.
sentatives in the state convention was uni.
versal and emphatic. The feeling among
all classes of republicans was that such q
precedent, once established, would event.
uate IN political revolution which
would transfer to the hands Of few
leaders and ward politicians the control
of Its conventions and the party machin.
cry by which they could perpetuate their
power.
The protest which tho BEE made on
behalf of republican methods and
usage has had its salutary effect.
A majority of the members of the
county committee, responding to
the popular sentiment, issued n
call for primary elections and conven-
tion, coupled with an express declara.
tion annulling the action taken by the
schemers who had taken advantage of
their brief authority. To this decisive
step and the resolutions adopted by re-
publican ward clubs is due the abandon
ment of the entire plot.
Now that the party has been accorded
the privilege of selecting its representa-.
tives in the usual way the call is naturally
dropped, since its prime object has been
conceded. This is victory for the re-
spectacle element of the party in conflict
with the spoilsmen and tpcksters who
make living out of politics. 1t is o re-
action IN the right direction and will be
hailed with satisfaction by the men who
value principles more than Office OF

Sea-drifting grasses. rustling reeds,
Where young grouse to their mothers cry,
And lOcusts pipe from whistling weeds;
Broad meadows lying like lagoons
Ut Sunniest water, on whose swellS
Float nOdding blooms, oto tinkling bells
OF bOb-O'-linkums' widest tunes:
Far west-winds bringing odors fresh
From mountains 'rayed as monarchS are
In royal robes of ice and snow,
Where storms are bred in thunder-jar;
Land of corn and wheat and kline.
Who tills the soil or prunes the vine,
Or digs in thy far canyons dim
My western land love thee vet.
In dreams ride my horse again,
And breast the breezes blowing fleet
From fields of flowers blowing sweet,
And tiinging perfume to the breeze.
The wild oats swirl along the plain;
l feel their dash against my knees,
Like rapid plaSh of running seas.

With painted populars thick with leaves;
In The I;t grass 81 in nn. rHstling II ripple cleaves

Out breaks the wild birds jocund call.
Oh, shining suns of boyhood's timel
Oh, winds that from the mythic west
Sang calls to Eldorado's quest!

When loud the city's changing roar
Wraps in my soul, as does a shrOud,

And dream Of bOyhOOds wind-swun
